Ha!ROFLMAO! Black Thunder,you say?Classic!I wonder if the horrible media types at Black Thunder Central(104.7)have more respect for the fabled stove taillights...Or maybe they'll jump on the rising wave of stereotyping and label your car,and all of ours,"killer Skylines"?

Dont worry Jayce, wasnt in the 'line, not giving them any bait, but i dont think the Daihatsu Applause owners club would be too happy with me...

And just to add my two cents to the whole P plate death thing, im pretty sure i read in the paper that the p plate accidents causing death/serious injury number has gone down over the last few years, so mayb these days they're either doing it more spectacularly (sp?) or the media is building it up more, personally i think its a combination of the two

Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

No you just tried to give him a run. Stop telling us how you are driving like a dickhead.

"im really fired up over this whole bullshit debate, a young guy crashes his import and all of a sudden left wing pinkos come out with these ideas"

Sorry veilsider r33, You are giving the "Left Wing Pinkos" a bad name.

The media and the Govt are doing the job well enough. (of demonising Skyline owners)

My opinion - the power is in the head and the foot of the driver. Self Control of both. It's not an age issue, not a gender issue, not a type of car/truck/bus/train/plane/tredly issue, not just an experience issue either. It's a common sense issue.

Some times sh!t happens. Prepare yourself to deal with consequences when you make choices. Then get over it and move on - if you live!

Even the worlds best race car drivers have accidents and not all survive.

All living things including Humans take risks.

PS.

I didn't show commonsense recently and I've been driving for 25 years. It easily could have been my GTR on the front of the CT last week. So I am not a P Plater and I'm not young, hence I disagree with you both.

It could then be argued that common sense comes with age but point in fact - it doesn't. We oldfolk just start taking less and more calculated risks.

I agree with you Richard...

Its all about choices...

Were all crazy drivers sometimes, but some people just think if they put there foot to the floor, they will look cooler or some crap...

Knowing what my car can do, i do limit myself to things and im prob talking for alot of people here. Some people just have not grown up yet to realise "CARS" do kill!

Sounds like Fred Flintstone's car.

Anyway I disagree, I tried using my head on the accelerator once and there were problems seeing over the dash. Took me ages to get the ding out of the front bar where it nudged the wall when I was reversing...

Hi Danooh;

Mind if I ask where you are getting it fixed and if you're happy with the outcome? My compressor (make that the car's compressor) is making wierd ass noises, might be a bearing. My ass sometimes makes wierd compressor noises too but I'm not goin' there...

Anyway would be good to take it somewhere that's worked on them before.

Cheers

      R34 GT-R Positive Battery Cable Routing

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi there, after a quick google search I found this topic as I am also relocating the battery to the boot of my 1998 GTT. I was just wondering how you got on with installing the re-routing and specifically the installing of the harness protectors? How do they attach? Are they just a simple "click-in" affair, or do they attach with bolts? Does the GTT have all the necessary fixing holes for them, for example, where they locate on the chassis? Any help you can provide would greatly appreciated.

      Passenger Door stuck R34 GTT

      R34 squeaking sound from passenger front area

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Stock less likely to carry one like that than urethane, but still can, especially if the bolts are not as tight as they should be. If it's making that much noise you should be able to use a hose as a stethoscope> stick one end in your ear, crouch down and wave it around the various possible noise makers and get someone to lift the front end at the guard lip.

      Passenger Door stuck R34 GTT

      Broken actuator rod. Could be one of a couple of them broken. Or, it's locked and the central locking actuator is broken/stuck or the actuator rods between it, the lock and the key barrel are jammed or broken similarly. You'll probably need a locksmith/mechanic who is experienced with using slim tools to reach down next to the window glass to manipulate the mechanism. That's assuming that it is not so severely jammed/broken that nothing useful will move.
